On-site stay; Worth it at this time?

[thematson]

I have a week long stay at a condo for Disney purposes but will visit Universal for two days. My issue: is it worth it to book an on-site hotel for the purpose of getting FOTL passes? I will be staying the night of September 30th. Will there be any crowds to warrant this expense?

Perhaps the hotel (PBH) is worth the price anyway. Any thoughts?

Yes it is totally worth the $$$. One night stay onsite is worth 2 days of FOTL! We are spoiled...we never stay offsite.

I doubt you would need Express access during that time since it's on a weekday but it would be nice to not have to drive back and forth from Universal to Disney. If it's in your budget, go for it.

What kind of price is it going for at that time? To me, it is always worth is to stay on site!

Since I am a Florida resident the rate would be $164 + taxes.

Is PBH a beautiful resort?

Not to rip off Nike here,

Just Do It!!!

The hotel is incredible and you won't be disappointed. All the extras you get make it more then worth it. Front of the line, nice boat ride to the park, plus you get to "feel special" during your stay there.

Do it, Do it, Do it!!!!!!!

Ok, I booked the room; and now I can't wait! I had no idea the hotel received so many awards.

Thanks to all who responded!
